Fucked off everyone who did the work from a place of passion and knowledge and replaced them with power-hungry shills WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
Actually so grateful for how things have played out. Discovered Lemmy, Tildes, Lobste.rs, RSS feeds for the rest. Ya, I’m over it now.
Yup. I had never heard of the fediverse and so glad I got introduced to it with the added benefit of many others doing so as well (so there is content and activity here).
Particularly the emphasis on the importance of decentralisation and setting it up right so never again do we have to go through that loss of community and platform. It really sucked in ways equally rational and emotional.
The platform of the fediverse may continue but the loss of community is still very much a possibility. All it takes is hostile actors manipulating their way into control of a particular community and then they can shutter it or steer it in a direction of their choosing. Every community on every server is like a Corp in Eve. It’s easy to start an alternative but the specific community will still be harmed. But that’s life.
Which is the best? I like Lemmy but havent tried the others you listed. Are they on par with Lemmy or more populated??

Anyone got a Tildes invite they could spare ? It looks very interesting.
What the fucks a reddit?
Someplace that never learned from Digg.

Nobody will know in 10 years

If it helps give a bit of reassurance, I grew up after the Digg era, and I didn’t even know it was a thing until the whole Reddit thing.
Maybe in ten years time, the next generation will be the same about Reddit, or at least, one can only hope.
If enough people program bots to repost to Lemmy, literally nothing. Right now, reddit’s only success over Lemmy is historical conversations/recommendations/tips.
They specifically mention open kettle canning as a bad practice. My friend and I were canning something and he wasn’t sure we were doing it right. He called his mom and she said she had always done open kettle canning (where you basically just pouring boiling temp food into hot jars and seal them). I guess experts have soured on the practice.
Either way, we made our cans the “right” way after lots of googling and none of the jars seemed to fail.
While I sympathize with the moderators, I would assume that historically most subs are not moderated by experts, but yes, a decrease in quality mods and mod tools will choke reddit to death.

Thanks to Reddit i learned Docker and everything needed to self-host a lot of cool stuff - without even visiting Reddit.
Exactly, thanks to Lemmy, I now face a life dilemma of either scrolling the same posts for an hour or starting my day. Fuck.
Lul
Is this the part where “it will just blow over” that Spez was talking about?
Did for me, at least. Having a “slower” version of reddit has done wonders for me. I’ve been able to get the news updates on Lemmy, but there isn’t a deluge of dopamine hits in my feed like Reddit. It’s done wonders for me.

Same with any NSFW content. Lame
I ended up creating a new account with a throwaway email because my old accounts got banned

No need for an account, you can still use old.reddit.com for the rare occasion you need to read something. If you’re on mobile, append
.ito the end of the old Reddit URL (but before?if there is one).Woah I didn’t know about the
.ithing. Do you know what it’s meant for?Sadly no. IIRC that used to be the “compact” view (available with
.compactat the end), which also opened other links in the compact view. But that got removed half a year ago, and only.iis left as of now.Legetimately that was so frustrating for them to kill off, I thought it so novel to browse compact Reddit on an iOS 6 device.
With the stealth app available on f-droid you can view all content without an account.
Its what i use for occasionally reddit browsing and viewing nsfw content on there.
They’ll ban your new account too once you post something.
Should still be able to view NSFW content and “unverified” communities with uBlock Origin and FireFox browser (on Android devices). Not that most of it is worth seeing anymore anyways

What’s this? Oh no! The consequences of my actions!
Companies seem to over estimate how many people are willing to do certain kinds of work.
Did Spaz think a thousand mods were just waiting in the wings that would not have similar concerns as the first group?
He unironically probably did.
He also modded the jailbait subreddit, in case you were unaware.
A real stand up guy
I’m sure I speak for all of us when I express my utter shock at this unforeseen turn of events.
One of my favorite outcomes of the purge is when I occasionally look at Reddit, I’ll see an enthusiastically titled post from oldfreefolk, with ZERO replies. Are those goofballs over here anywhere, I’d love a bit more of bobbyb in my life.
THANK THE GODS FOR BESSIE AND HER TITS
They never found the right people in the first place, theres just a lot of dice rolls, luck and fragmentation.
Most mods were never experts.
They lost a lot of their more level-headed reditors as things started getting more toxic though
The (impending disaster of an) IPO can proceed, they don’t care about the rest. Content quality doesn’t mean squat until it affects ad revenue.
Pissing off your free labor has consequences? Shocker.
As with traditional Reddit PR: Reddit will comment when there’s correction to be made. Since Reddit made no correction, the article is 100% accurate.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The dangers of food canning were explained to me clearly, succinctly, and with cited sources by Brad Barclay and someone going by Dromio05 on Reddit (who asked to withhold their real name for privacy reasons).
He noted various canning misconceptions, from thinking the contents of a concave lid are safe to eat to believing you don’t need to apply heat to food in jars.
For example, Barclay pointed to one mod recommending “citizen science,” saying they would use a temperature data logger to “begin conducting experiments to determine what new canning products are safe.”
It includes already-canned tomatoes, which experts like the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) recommend against, as there’s no safe tested process for this.
What’s critical for Reddit’s content quality is not that moderators adopt identical philosophies but that they are equipped to facilitate healthy and safe discussions and debates that benefit the community.
But the hastiness with which these specific replacement mods were ushered in, and the disposal of respected, long-time moderators, raises questions about whether Reddit prioritized reopening subreddits to get things back to normal instead of finding the best people for the volunteer jobs.
